Disabling services you don't need is fine, but I suggest you concentrate
on big pieces like the ones you mentioned (graphical desktop, web
console). Disabling minor miscellaneous services is problematic because
(a) it's harder to be sure you're not using the service in some way, and
(b) the payoff in terms of resource consumption is likely to be small.

Right, that's the default setting. Netservices would be useful to get
back to that state if you had changed it for some reason.
